I'm really surprise R.Kelly stills has his instrument, which is his vocals. I never heard about him using drugs, but I'm sure he had a moment. I look at Maxwell, and wondered what happen to his voice. The same thing for Mariah Carey, but I'm surprise by R. Kelly still holding onto his vocals. And, if your a true fan of Maxwell or Mariah Carey, then you know their voices are not the same. When, The "Mary" album came out I knew Mary J Blige voice was not right. But, R. Kelly a classic and music genius.
